Our mission is to represent the interests and aspirations of "away from home" toilet providers, suppliers and users of all types and to act as the catalyst for change in the pursuit of standards of excellence in all areas of public toilet provision and management.

PLEASE JOIN THE CAMPAIGN TO HELP IMPROVE THE STANDARDS OF ALL TOILETS ACROSS IRELAND FOR BOTH OUR RESIDENTS AND OUR VISITORS.

Toilet Association of Ireland - Consultation Services

Each year we visit many hundreds of public toilets throughout Ireland and the UK, provided by both local authorities and other operators. Over the years we have built up a unique fund of practical experience, covering every aspect of toilet provision and operation - and most importantly this knowledge is centred on the views and requirements of the user.

With the introduction last year of a star grading system for the Awards, our vision is that every 'away from home' toilet, certainly every Local Authority public toilet, will receive an annual independent assessment and appropriate rating.

In the meantime, TAI is ready and able to visit any type of provider - Local Authority as well as health, education and hospitality establishments, to discuss current standards of provision, future strategy and issues relevant to design, layout, product and service needs, security and maintenance - as well as marketing or revenue generating opportunities.

The range of consultation services for providers of public or 'away from home' toilet include:

A review of toilets provided and a follow up report on each toilet visited with recommendations for improvement.

Discussions with relevant management on toilet related issues.

Assistance with new toilet design and equipment specification.

Assistance with identification of appropriate cleaning materials and methods.

Assistance with issues relating to security, social misuse and special needs users.

Presentation of TAI Best Value proposals relating to public toilets.

Attendance at Local Authority Best Value review group meetings.

We recommend the following course of action for our Consultation Service:

An initial meeting to establish areas of investigation and agree tasks, timescales and costs.
